Will LB go home with the blue cube again?

It’s four days away from one of Advertising + Marketing’s fourth annual Agency of the Year. Held at KL Hilton this Friday night, the event will gather together some of the biggest names in the advertising industry in Kuala Lumpur.

Last year, Arc Worldwide/Leo Burnett took home the coveted Overall Agency of The Year awards, after having picked up a total of three Golds and a Silver award. Will they be able to hang on to the same position this year? Only time will tell.

We were also introduced to a few new agencies last year, who took home a few cubes. Ova – A Spiral Effect made a sterling debut at the awards winning Gold and Local Hero for the Brand Consultancy of the Year category.

The category saw another new entrant Sambal Lab bringing home Bronze, while Mercatus+ took the Silver.

Event Marketing Agency of the Year also saw new entrant In2 Marketing clinching Gold and Local Hero, while Jiggee finally took home Silver, and Bronze went to Spanner Works The Events Company.

Here’s a quick recap of last year’s winners.
